This book shows counterinsurgencies are conservative worldmaking projects: attempts to reimagine the world in response to insurrection. MacKay traces the emergence of these ideas from early modernity, as they changed over successive conflicts and periods, focusing on military manuals as records of practice, varying with the status quo they defend.
